Frequently asked questions

Can NVIDIA RTX 5070 run GLM-5 744B-A40B?

No. Even at Q4_K_M, GLM-5 744B-A40B needs about 452.4 GB, but the NVIDIA RTX 5070 has 12 GB usable. You could offload some layers to system RAM, but it will be very slow.

How much VRAM does GLM-5 744B-A40B need?

About 452.4 GB at Q4_K_M with 8,192 tokens of context, and about 1489.3 GB at full FP16 precision.

How fast is GLM-5 744B-A40B on the NVIDIA RTX 5070?

It does not fit in the NVIDIA RTX 5070's memory, so most layers would run from system RAM and generation would be very slow.
